Here are some more information for Russian Spring:

The most important Russian holiday is New Year's Day - January 1st. During the Soviet era, people were not allowed to celebrate Christmas, so New Year's became the most important holiday. New Year's is a public holiday while Christmas is more of a private family holiday. Happy New Year in Russian is 'Snovum Godom.'

Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. This is the equivalent day to December 25 in the old Russian calendar.Russians also celebrate 'Catholic Christmas' on December 25th and the old Russian New Year's Day of January 14th in the Julian calendar, which they used until 1918.

Russians celebrate more holidays than Hallmark Cards. It is just one more reason to pull the cork out of the vodka bottle.

The most important holiday as far as Russian women are concerned is "International Women's Day." This is March 8. This holiday, that Americans have never heard of, is like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and her birthday all rolled into one. On this day, the men do all the household chores. They treat the woman of the house as Queen for a Day. They buy her a nice gift and maybe flowers.

One word of advice: Remember this day as you would your anniversary, her birthday, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day. It is that important to a Russian woman.

One big difference between Russia and America is that Russians don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day, Mother's Day, or Father's Day. They don't celebrate any of the ethnic holidays that America has like St. Patrick's Day, Columbus Day, or Martin Luther King Day, although I'm sure they could get behind the spirit of St. Patrick's Day one hundred percent.

Each former Soviet Republic has its own independence day that is celebrated like Independence Day in America, although not quite to the same degree it is celebrated in America.February 23 is officially Soldier's Day and is kind of like Father's Day where men are honored.

May 9 is Victory Day, where the Russians celebrate victory in the great Patriotic War -- what we call World War II. Every man who is a veteran is treated like a general on this day. There is much drinking and celebrating to honor the conquering war heroes.

November 7 is the Soviet holiday that commemorates the October Revolution (which actually took place in November), when the Bolsheviks took power from the Czar. The reason it is called the October revolution is because it was in the month of October in the old Russian calendar.

Remember the parades in Red Square. During this holiday, the Soviet leaders wore those big Russian fur hats while standing above Lenin's tomb.This holiday is still celebrated by some, although not nearly as much as when the Soviets were in power.

Pascha is the Russian Orthodox equivalent to Catholic Easter. Easter is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox (March 21).Pascha is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox and Jewish Passover.

This was the date that the Christian Church originally celebrated Easter.Passover is the Jewish religious celebration when the Lord passed over the houses of the Israelites during the plagues that Moses visited upon the Egyptians for holding the Israelites captive. The last plague, or curse, was that the first-born sons of all the land would perish.

The Israelites were to sacrifice a lamb to God and put the blood of the lamb over their doorstep. By doing so, they would be Passed Over by the plague, and their first-born would be spared.

To Christians, Jesus represented the Lamb of God. He was the Passover lamb. He was the Lamb who was sacrificed to save the souls of all people, not just the first-born sons of the Israelites.

Jesus came to Jerusalem during Passover and was crucified right after Passover.The Orthodox celebrate Pascha (The Passion) after Passover for this reason.

Spring Break:Tramp Stamp

Are you planning on getting a Tramp Stamp while on your college spring break? If you are you need to know important aspects of getting inked and the process for recovery.
Getting a Tramp Stamp with close friends at a spring break resort can be fun and exciting, even a rite of passage to commemorate a wild time in your life. However, you should follow a few tips to keep this tattoo session a healthy and safe one.

Below are 3 important tips you should think about to have a problem free experience.

Tip #1 Try to Pre-screen

I know this may be difficult because you are either in a foreign country or just going with the rush of the moment but you should ask a few questions before the ink even gets close to your skin. Ask about sanitation of the equipment, see examples of the artist's work. If you don't like his/her answers, don't do it. There are a million artists out there, wait until you get home if you have to but just letting anyone permanently ink you is like playing Russian roulette.

Tip #2 Know what you are getting into

Remember, split second decisions sometimes aren't the best one's. You might like something now that could bring you problems down the road. Do your research before spring break and search the internet for bad designs and experiences so you are at least educated about the dangers. Try to have some design concepts in your mind or even bring a picture to help the artist.

Tip #3 Recovering from a Tramp Stamp

Recovery takes time. A Tramp Stamp or any other tattoo needs to be kept clean, bandaged and dry. So, if you are thinking of getting one on the first day, you might want to hold off because you will ruin your week.

A tattoo needs time to heal which means staying away from the ocean, pool or hot tub. Be aware that you are going to experience some discomfort as well. If you aren't going away on Spring break than get one on the first day so you have enough time to heal before you go back to school.

Getting a tattoo should be a fun experience when done right. Make sure you use a talented and experienced professional. Try to choose a design that you will enjoy for years to come because removing a tattoo is a bit of a pain but can be done

Can you help me find some films on the Russian Revolution?

In the spring I am going to be teaching Animal Farm along with the Russian Revolution. I want to show a film (not a documentary) that either takes place during or right after the Russian Revolution so students can see what life was like then. I want to show something with a fair amount of accuracy (ie- not Anastasia). It can be in English or Russian. I speak Russian so I can explain things if we do a Russian language film... I am just having a difficult time locating a film that is not a documentary. Thanks
